Waivers

Your health insurance coverage information is submitted to UnitedHealthcare within 48 business hours after you register for classes at GGC each applicable semester. Once submitted, you have the ability to waive out if you have comparable coverage. Students who are covered by an insurance policy (i.e., through parent plans, family plans or employer-sponsored plans) can opt out of the plan by submitting a waiver by the end ofdrop/add period. Allow 48 business hours for an approved waiver to be updated on your student account.

If your waiver has been denied once, you can resubmit a waiver following the same steps as above one more time. Double check that all information you submitted is correct. If you have submitted two waivers and you have been denied twice, and wish to appeal, you will need to email theprogram coordinator for Health Servicesif you are a nursing student or theOffice of Internationalizationif you are an international student.

Waiver requests must be submitted each semester prior to the end of drop/add period. Waiver requests submitted after this deadline will not be considered. Failure to submit a waiver by the established deadline means that you will be responsible for paying the insurance charge on your student account by the payment deadline. Allow 48 business hours for the waiver to be updated on your student account.

Important: Waivers are valid for one semester only and waiver periods at GGC are strictly enforced.
